[QUOTE="SHOemup233, post: 4651026, member: 578389"] Again, not everyone on here says "you MUST use a DMM!!!" But if we do, we say that because most brand new noobs, who don't use a DMM, will just turn up their gain to the highest and blow their subs. Telling NOOBS to use a DMM insures they don't blow their subs. We say that for your and their sakes, not because we think you have to do it. I have set every sub I've owned by ear and have been fine. If you can't get your DMM to read...did you say 63 volts? Then something is wrong. That should be your starting point. Set with a DMM to 63 volts on a 50 hz tone, then change to music (Hypnotize, blueberry yumyum, etc.) and maybe turn the gain up a tiny bit more. Until where it sounds good, before clipping, and before the sub is bottoming out or anything. [/QUOTE]
